Flash Floods in Texas / Jonathan Burnett. College Station, texas : Texas A & M University Press, 2008. 330 P. After combing libraries and archives, grilling county historians, trekking to flood sites, and collecting scores of photographs, Jonathan Burnett chose twenty-eight floods around the state to create this narrative of a century of disastrous events. Beginning with the famous Austin dam break of 1900 and ending with the historic woow flooding in the Hill county, Burnett chronicles the causes and courses of these catastrophic floods as well as their costs in material damage and human lives. Dramatic photographs of each event reveal some of the harrowing accounts of danger spawned by nature on a rampage. Together, the stories and the pictures give readers a vivid and lasting image of the power and unpredictability of flash floods in Texas. 20081210. Floods Texas History. TXKYP
